MAKE MOON AMERICAN AGAIN

MOONMAN LIVES

...

Charge other countries for using our moon

HAIL COLUMBIA!

Doesn't Russia already have a base up there?
Moon cities when

How is trump still alive? he's pissing off both the reptiles and the ay lmaos

Some of you guys must understand these things a whole lot more than me, how realistic is this exactly?

It seems so farfetched now…..

Did you miss the major news channels explaining that a cartoon frog is a nazi hate symbol? Realism no longer applies to reality.

If you put like an entire reinforced structure around the moon, as in an artificial atmosphere, it could work
also, no one can own anything in space ATM, it's a treaty most every country signed

We had the tech to do in the 60's/

It's not hard m8, it just requires political will and halfway competent management.

I don't know nigger, but get your ass ready for space dominion. The God Emperor stuff wasn't a joke. We first interplanetary empire nao.

We're going to tear up that treaty once we leave the UN.

The galactic Imperium of Man has already begun, first the Moon, then Mars, then the stars!

...

...

Of course the tech is there, a fucking smart phone has more power than all of NASA's supercomputers combined in the 1960s.

I just don't think America can actually pull itself together to actually invest in moon-fun. There could be hope in private companies, but they haven't been too successful so far.

Maybe we should put NASA under the DoD, if they were put into a military role instead of just a hippie-dippy public science role, they may be relevant again.

Kek promised me Trump in power armor before I die.

My blood for Terra.
May the Gods' will be done.

Suffer not the xenos, the mutant, the heretic, to live.

Hail Trump.

...

Nope. Just a permanent structure would be enough to lay claim. Like a fort in the old days.

What Happens When White House Aides Get Too Famous?
By JEFF GREENFIELD
The Trump administration is considering a bold and controversial vision for the U.S. space program that calls for a "rapid and affordable" return to the moon by 2020, the construction of privately operated space stations and the redirection of NASA's mission to "the large-scale economic development of space,"
Yeah sounds like full fledged space colonization to me.

Space KKK soon

Sounds like full fledged space colonization to me.

It shows how much we've deteriorated when the tech is thousands of times better but we just can't scrap the effort and manpower together anymore.

New Hudson's Bay Company when?

He said it in his inauguration speech. Did you doubt him?

Guess that means the chinks will just start launching peasants up there with like a dozen bricks and a wetsuit to try and lay claim first.

Is it even possible to terraform the moon or is the magnetic field too weak to support any reasonable amount of atmosphere?

If it's possible we certainly don't have the tech right now, even hypothetically.

At least with mars there's hope of one day of having air outside of the domes.

I would say probably no, seeing as how the atmosphere of the moon is practically nonexistent; nasa.gov/mission_pages/LADEE/news/lunar-atmosphere.html

I'd put more stock into Mars being terraformed way before the moon, as it would make more sense and be easier.

Here is an interesting article about setting up a colony on the moon: blogs.discovermagazine.com/crux/2014/09/08/where-build-off-world-colonies/#.WJ_tDqptmUk

How many states do we have in this timeline? Would the moon be the 51st or the 53rd?

It's hard keeping track but maybe 52 or 53, depending upon whenever we annex Canada and take Cuba.

marspapers.org/#/papers

Series of papers on chalenges and proposed solutions for Mars colonization.

I don't even know anymore. I came here from the Kasich timeline.

WE WILL BE UNDER BUDGET AND AHEAD OF SCHEDULE ONLY IF YOU SAY:

NO BRAKES

Huh?

NO BRAKES

the fuck is he

cleanse the earth, then ascend to the stars.

We shouldn't make the entire moon one giant state, that's too gaudy.

It's almost as much land as all of Russia.

We need to make at least 10 states:

Nixonia, Jacksonvania, Hitlersota, etc.

But we HAVE to go back, due to the radiation of the sun, all the flags we put on the moon have been sun-bleached into white flags of surrender.

We wouldn't want Ay Lmaos to think the French beat us there after all.

NIGGER THAT IS AN MS.PAINT DRAWING OF A WHITE FLAG

Nigger it's Trump, there's no such thing as to gaudy.

It's okay we have lead based chinese pigments now, the sun can't stop us anymore.

...

...

Surface area of the moon = 14.6 million square miles.
Russia = 6.8 million square miles

So we could potentially annex 2 and 1/3 Russias by 2020.

Fukkin meme it.

I much prefer Mars, everything needed for self-sufficiency is there already like water plus its easy to terraform, it would just take a long time.

Post YFW Trump shatters the second frame in this meme.

WE WILL EXPLORE THE STARS

baby steps user

WE NEED A FLAG FOR THE MOON

Mars is the baby step.

Once you are in LEO, you are halfway to anywhere in terms of delta-v. The Moon is much harder to live on and make a sustainable colony on than Mars.

yeah but also mars is gay and i want to live on the moon

I have a couple designs.

...

show em'

...

How do you figure? The time (not just money) required to get to the moon is substantially less than Mars.

Hail Trump!

obviously because

Water.

There's lots of it on Mars. None on the Moon. It will have to be shipped in, which is more expensive than just baking it out of the dirt.

Would should make Mexico build a wall in the ocean around itself to block the tide just for the lulz.

Logistically, it would cost less and take less time to port water to the moon from Earth than gathering it from Mars' polar ice caps. Since you wouldn't want to place a base on Mars' ice caps, you'd end up having to build a water pipeline all the way from the caps to where you base would ideally be, on the equator.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_water

Gravity, which is completely unsolvable as a problem, unlike water.

problem with that is the sheer distance and violence of Martian weather. Imagine if you have a leak. Good luck finding it in a reasonable amount of time. Plus you'd need some type of base at the poles turning the ice into liquid water.

With current technology*

Technology could be adapted to get water into space for a fraction of the current cost with a space elevator.

can we have a space elevator thread?

Ideally only robots would have to work at the poles to melt polar ice into water. Storms could be a problem, but it wouldn't take much longer to install subterranean pipeline to circumvent that issue.

It's probably BECAUSE of the tech that we've lost the will to do shit. We actually explore space when you can just jerk off on your iphone to magic space nigger?

...

We couldn't have done it though without the Hidden Figures black ladies. Most black ladies don't like Trump, so I don't know if we have the tech to get there right now.

Damn, I knew it was small, but I didn't think it was smaller than all of Asia.

Mars actually has violent earth(mars?)quakes as well. Another thing to keep in mind.

revitalizing space technology and exploration is a good goal but anyone that seriously thinks human habitats on other planets right now has any purpose or is a good idea for ANYONE involved is totally insane. we'd be better off making gigantic underwater cities.

We Bioshock now?

Mars is geologically dead compared to Earth. We already have technology on earth to mitigate pipeline damage from earthquakes, which are most likely much more frequent than any quakes on Mars.

nothing has any purpose user, just let us fly dragons into the sky rock for god's sake

Discounting escaping the atmosphere it's easier and cheaper for humans to live in space than at the bottom of the ocean.

NO BRAKES

that's a fairly reasonable approach to take, I just think that people that fantasize about living on mars or some space station don't take the time to realize how fucking awful it would be. imagine jewish slumlords in space with smelly beaners and antifa that get stuck in the water filtration center

You guys are missing the nuance.

The United States of America signed the treaty. Not its citizens.

The treaty does not apply to privately owned enterprises.

Trump Casino Moon Edition

Mine the lunar thorium to breed megatons of U233.
Evaporate the U233 and let it condense into micro droplets < one micron in diameter.
Throw these micro droplets out into space in multiple parallel streams with a large enough diameter and density so as to not completely spread apart (i.e. the microgravity keeps the streams together).
Have your spaceship fly between the streams, which are themselves only a few dozen meters apart, and ionize the droplets at the front of the ship and use magnetic fields to guide the charged droplets towards a focal point at the ships rear.
The droplet density at this focal point becomes enough that the droplets continually go critical there and you essentially have a continuous nuclear explosion behind your ship, with an open style magnetic nozzle to guide the fission fragments rearward and thus the ship forward.
The back part of the ship between the nozzle (and nuclear fire) and the ship itself will have to have lead or tungsten shielding to protect against all the gammas and xrays the fireball will be emittting.
Fission fragments can travel up to 0.05c, so they give a very good amount of momentum per unit mass of propellant, and because the propellant isn't being carried by your ship, the acceleration is stronger because the ship is lighter and can just go on and on until the stream ends.
This is basically a fission fragment rocket on steroids, with a little inspiration from the Bussard ramjet idea and Zubrin's nuclear salt water rocket.

I forgot to mention, that the beginning parts of the stream should probably have inert matter mixed in to increase thrust at the expense of exhaust velocity, with the amount of inert matter decreasing along the flight path until it's nothing but fuel since you want higher exhaust velocities as you are traveling faster.

Yeah but first you have to actually get the uranium there, and then you have to refresh it when it gets used up. Taking the nukes with you like orion is a better idea.

Yeah, to start the breeding processes, although you don't need something like Orion to get fissile fuel to the moon, you could use chemical rockets to get it there too.
Then once the U233 starts being produced, you just use most of it for breeding more to boot strap the rest.
Orion is nice but they haven't solved the fallout dilemma.

By "there" I mean't into space, unless you mean to do this as you're flying. As far as the fallout dilemma goes, it really isn't that bad. I'm sure Orionsperg will show up any minute now to tell you that though.

The problem we're facing seems more mystical than scientific.

Oh, you mean to create the stream, like leaving the droplets behind it.
I thought you meant for getting seed fuel to start the breeding process on the moon.
I was thinking the stream could shot out into space using an accelerator on the moon and neutralized with an electron beam, but that method probably wouldn't provide sufficient density.
The problem with release it from a big tank of it moving through space is you can't hold a big tank of it since the density would cause it to go critical, unless you big tank also contained a large amount of some neutron poison mixed in, but then you would have to make sure it is always mixed uniformly between you fuel pellets to avoid a nuclear explosion, and it is also not very mass efficient.
Perhaps it would work for the first part of the stream which has lots of inert matter mixed in.
The latter part of the stream which is pure fuel could be shot out by accelerator beforehand, so that there are really two streams.

All the Nazis died.

you'd make a good jew lawyer.
thinking like a shifty jew.

nice

...

We still have a few of the old Saturn V rockets.
The country wasn't stupid, we didn't just make one of them. The problem is that nobody has the will to actually use the damn things, and they're so old now that nobody knows if they still work.

That game even presdicted Holla Forums and meme magic? Holy fuck, does someone have a compliation of all it's predictions that came true?

Not only that, but the people who knew those things inside and out and how to put them together, test them, and get them working well are either dead or have forgotten since it's been decades.
There lots of engineering knowledge that isn't contained in blueprints that is gained during projects such as the Apollo missions and isn't necessary written down in any official transcript form because the guys who need to know that shit do and are around during the project.
I'm sure that shit could be figured out, but it would be expensive and time consuming, and considering how far SLS has come, they should probably just focus on it and how to make it cheaper, or just let companies like SpaceX and Blue origin take over.

What are they gonna do if we tear it up and tell them to get fucked? Go up to the moon and kick our astronauts off?

Maybe if they could do that, they wouldn't have been so eager to sign such a treaty?

WE SPACE IMPERIUM NOW.
THE MOON IS RIGHTFUL AMERICAN WHITE PEOPLE CLAY!

kek

If this happens. Prepare for UN Niggers and Kikes to whine that it violate treaties.

yfw Trump is a ayy/reptile hybrid

(heil Moon Hitler)
The Moon is something like 3,500km diameter. You can fit a circle of that size inside Australia.

I don't want us fucking with the moon too much because the Earth's existence depends on it. If it starts getting away from orbit more rapidly we may end up fucking ourselves over and I don't know if some idiot won't decide to fire missiles at settlements. There is no guarantee that someone wouldn't try to.

I wonder where Tesla's tech will fit in all of this.

and all the diversity hires

He'll even shatter the first frame. The Genesis Device will be tested on the Middle East first, turning thousands of miles of inhospitable desert into lush rainforest.

Once the transformation is complete, we'll need good men to go in there to map the New Third World and shoot all the savages.

Or perhaps I am wondering who would first build a rainforest before shooting the savages in it?

I'm pretty sure there was a card depicting a Frog god.

That's actually a good point, the problem I see with that though is that what's even the point of bringing it up in a budget plan for NASA if NASA isn't allowed to do jack shit on it anyway

Where is this from user, is there any more?

It's actually cheaper to collect water on Deimos or the Asteroid belt and fling it into the Earth system than lift it from the surface. Once basic initial infrastructure is established, ISRU (in situ resource utilization) takes over because it is orders of magnitude more efficient. Go learn some basic rocket science.

NO BRAKES!!

Kasich has qt daughters

If you get water into space from Earth you are doing it wrong to begin with. Only practical way to get industrial amounts of water on orbit is to mine for it.
First commercial space mines will be for ice and for platinum group metals (thrown back to earth for quick cash)

Which is exactly what makes it so immensely useful to us. It's much easier to get material up from the lunar surface than from earth. If we are ever going to build large space habitats, solar power sattelites and large interplanetary craft, the material will first have to come from the Moon. Interstellar craft will likely have to be built in the gas giant systems

...

And where exactly do we go from there, genius? In space we always have somewhere to go, something to build towards and somewhere to bug out to when shit hits the fan.

Funny how they tried to claim that someone funded directly by Soros isn't "establishment."

You still think you're the millionaires, or will be, right?. You know who really are, right?.

THE EMPEROR PROTECTS

Space elevator seems like a better idea pre moon base. It would reduce the cost of getting material to orbit by 99%.
If we only had strong enough material to build it.

Annex? What I see there is private land ownership on Moon without state opression.

Moon base requires no new tech, and it will provide invaluable experience for building things in space. Space elevators require magic metamaterials, and are probably easier and more practical to first build on other bodies.

It's gonna be tough to build a wall around the moon.

The space elevator would likely be more practical to build starting in space anyhow.

So this is where doom got it's roots from?

I don't like this.

Oh, 5 off.

That "treaty" is nothing but a third-worldist way to stop galactic empires from developing.

THOTH TECHNOLOGY

That is obvious bullshit. The guy sounds insane and rambles non-stop throughout the video. Typical of disinfo shills trying to seed absurd views and steer curious minds away from real questions about the moon.

What would be the point? A Dyson sphere is for captured solar energy.

God damn that feels good man.

eh, it's not that much smaller than the earth…

REEEEEEEE

MAKE THE MOON GREAT AGAIN

easily. his work with electricity and magnetics would really help us getting an electrical grid up on the Moon. his free energy experiments are a good idea to look up and refine (if possible)

add Mars to that list too. forgot to mention that.

check these dubs

The moon is much smaller than the Earth.

those aren't dubs you fucking liar.

no but he somehow got trips.

The moon isn't even a solid object. See the Lunar Wave.

(ID dubs checked and praised)

When did France go to the moon?

REMOVE MOON BITCHES

Yeah, but it's also much, MUCH more forgiving if you fuck up. Earth is only a few days away as opposed to months. Also helps that the Sun is close, so solar power is more viable, though as always, thorium is the best bet for power generations.

NO BRAKES

Lunar regolith contains both oxygen and hydrogen, which is released by baking the rocks/dust. I'll give you three guesses what water is made of.

Just by cooking the regolith, you now have oxygen for breathing, water, and rocket fuel.

Building a permanent moon base first is logical. It's easier to do, the moon has resources nearby (titanium, aluminum, silicon, H3 for nuclear fusion, etc.), and it has enough gravity to be convenient but it's so low we can easily launch stuff further into the solar system, such as toward Mars, without the issues of launching things out of Earth's gravity well.

2020: First moon base.
2027: First Mars base.
2035: First O'Neill Island 3 space colony.
2042: First asteroid mining venture.
2050: Thousand Year Space Reich begins.

I thought NASA already was ultimately under the DoD.

This just got me thinking how instead of building something to land on the moon and take off again, it might be better to send supplies to the moon to build a launch pad. Then make rockets to boost anything off the moon and fall back to be reused. This would benefit both small and large capsules to be sent back and forth.

NO BRAKES

You make it sound much easier than it already is. Might as well say "if only we had dragonballs".

an orbital ring could already be buillt on earth orbit with current materials, it would be just extremely expensive

You don't need a space elevator. You need a gun.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_gun
Currently impractical for sending humans or delicate machines, but it's perfect for sending bulk goods into space such as water, liquid oxygen, food, fuel, etc.

The speed of construction does increase exponentially as it is completed. More energy to power more construction/harvester drones. Really it should be an ongoing project as we expand. Still with take several generations but I want my great great great grand children to have nice things. Men who plant trees they'll never see fully grown and all that.

It would be a place to keep the lugenpresse pool while the god emperor golfs on Mars.

To be honest, a prison on the Moon would be nice…

...

Eh, let's just keep the death penalty and the overall strategy of deterrence. Until we reach "whalers on the moon" stage, too many people would be willing to kill to get a trip to the moon. Send the criminals to New Jersey instead.

It wouldn't be more practical, it would be literally the only possible way. Say what you will about tensile strength, but there most certainly is no feasible way to build a self-supporting tower all through the atmosphere and up to GEO. Either way, I don't think there is nearly as much utility in a space elevator as there is in Lagrangian factories, Lunar mass drivers, Asteroid mining and outer planet system colonization. We shouldn't be putting much mass up into the void from Earth - we should be bringing wealth down and people up the well.

I don't think this will work the way you think it will, user

A much simpler idea than a space elevator on earth is either one on the moon or a launch loop/mass driver on the moon. First, a base is established deep underground on the moon, the base must have facilities to process various metals into 3D printable forms. Next, Asteroid miners bring asteroids to lunar orbit, break them into pieces, and crash land them on the moon, the pieces are brought to a facility and processed into usable materials to expand the base. When the base is finished, begin constructing the elevator/driver/loop/whatever to launch prefabricated parts of a large space station into lunar orbit, The launch mechanism is under much less stress due to lower lunar gravity and lack of weather. Permanent Space station is assembled in orbit. From this point on, the only things that will need to come up from earth will be people, water and atmospheric gasses can be found in asteroids which can be brought into the station or landed on the moon and mined, and food can be grown on the space station. With this, humanity could easily have a permanent staging platform on the moon, with the ability to create and launch orbiting stations for assembling starships for deep space missions, scientific research, extra living space, planetary defense, etc in the span of maybe 50-100 years. It would quickly turn a profit since materials that are rare on earth are incredibly abundant in asteroids, and they can be sent back to earth on return trips of shuttles used to bring people or supplies up or simply dropped with parachutes in drone capsules manufactured on the moon

Checked 4 Science

The moon has ice at the poles which could be mined for water and electrolyzed for oxygen. Habitats could be built underground to protect from solar radiation, and it would be easy to move the lunar soil since there's weaker gravity making it lighter there (and you never have to worry about earthquakes since the moon is not geologically active). Power sources would be a bit difficult as solar is a big limiter but still better over there, and nuclear reactors would require massive amounts of water recapture devices. Shipping oil would be prohibitively expensive. There's also the problem of supplying carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and other elements to be used in farming, but once you get them there you can recycle pretty efficiently.

In short, it would be difficult but quite doable provided we had the political will to invest in it, which is something we've lacked since the second moon landing.

Finally, all our 40k and moon man memes are paying off! Praise Kek!

The moon's gravity is too weak to hold an atmosphere without it being blown away by the solar wind, it would be useless to attempt creating one even if you could give the entire moon a strong magnetosphere.

i thought the point was to use some kind of band of magnetically controlled metal inside the ring, using this to stabilize the ring and possibly control the orientation with respect to the longitude and latitude
the obvious way would be just solar panels

We have fringe tech solutions for the radiation of space. Though that's all assuming space isn't actually the boarder to the higher dimension/realm/density and is physically real.

Nonetheless it's fun stuff to talk about. Pic semi unrelated.

Assuming that you have an economical way to reliably get large payloads of extremely heavy substances back to earth without causing an extinction-level event or dropping it in the ocean then sure.

Yes. That’s how humanity will survive the next 70 years. We have to get started NOW, because the first country to do it will be able to do ANYTHING they want and be fully self-sufficient.

I don't think the second image scale is correct. Charon is supposed to be a twin planetoid to Pluto, it can't be this small. Also I think the larger than the moon moons are depicted a bit too big.

I was right about Charon.
